getDefinition() sends a query to thesaurus.com to look up synonyms of a word.
This script was inspired by Eric A. Folley's getDefinition script (see Look Up Term on dictionary.com).
It's a straightforward use of the webbrowser verbs:

if ( term == "" )
frontier.bringToFront()
if ! dialog.ask( "Term to look up in thesaurus?", @term )
return
local
theUrl = rogetsUrl + string.replaceAll( term, " ", "+" )
webbrowser.bringToFront()
